One Hit Wonders

[Lover Boy]

There has been some fantastic one hit wonders over the years, what are your favourite one hit wonders ever?

One of my favourites is Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice, a classic hip-hop song.

Bittersweet Symphony, The Verve

My favorite song ever.

 

[Postman Dave]

Bittersweet Symphony, The Verve

My favorite song ever.

Not in the UK, The Verve had a few big hits and a celebrated album on these shores.

They also had at least one other big hit here in North America with Lucky Man. Also, Vanilla Ice had another hit with Play that Funky Music.

I move we turn this into a thread where we refute one hit wonders. :

Ok how about Sir Mix A Lot and Baby Got Back

Ok how about Sir Mix A Lot and Baby Got Back

Given that his only other "hits" charted at 70 and 97 respectively, I'll give Baby Got Back one-hit wonder status.

We have a winner (wiener). :

Oh how about Biz Markie and You say He just A friend

That counts too, considering he never had another song on the charts.

Can't remember, but I'm not counting collaborations. How about Turning Japanese by The Vapors? I'd say that counts.

Play that Funky Music by Wild Cherry.


Seriously who doesn't know this song? Unfortunately that's the only song people know them for. Good song though :
